Illustrious 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2011 Recently,. I became a little fascinated with photography so I was doing some research on different DSLR cameras and now I am stuck with a few different options. I can get a Canon t2i, a canon 60d, or a canon t3i but I have no idea which one to get. I am mainly using the camera to record videos (and color correct them later). Which camera do you guys think I should get. The cameras are near the same price range and the output is pretty much the same. However, I have not had any hands on experience with these cameras so I cannot decide for myself.I was also thinking about getting a Nikon digital slr camera but I read about how the video recording is not as good as the video that the Canon digital slr cameras produce. Do you guys have anything to say about this? Also, these two brands have their own series of lenses that you can pick from. I do not know which one to pick.

Do you guys have anything to say about this? Also, these two brands have their own series of lenses that you can pick from. I do not know which one to pick. I bought my first DSLR a while ago, and opted for the Nikon D90. I spent a while in shops handling both Nikon and Canon's offerings, and I felt that the Nikon layout, shape, etc. just fitted me better. I think right now that will be the main factor in choosing which brand to opt for. The cameras pretty much have all the same features (but with different names) across the two brands, and perform just as well, so you won't regret either choice.A key point to note is that the video recording on any DSLR suffers a fundamental flaw - horizontal tearing. Due to the way video is recorded from the sensor of a DSLR, horizontal tearing is a massive problem when panning any shot horizontally. This can make motion look very wavey, or in the worst case cause a clear divide across the middle of a shot. If you are mainly focussing on video you would be better off getting a dedicated digital HD video camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
